The mage Valerie Valeria from Gavin's quest drops a +3 staff - which is a bit powerful for the early game. What do you think, nerf it to +2, or maybe even +1? "Oh, please no, that's the staff I always go for as soon as I come to Beregost"? What's your opinion?

Location:The town where the dead haven't keeled over, yet. In Finland.

What's Valeria's strength as an opponent ? Perhaps it's because his staff does the most in the partnership ? V-himself could be a bumbling idiot like the host is most of the time.A +1 ... + a bonus that makes V-also good - could be more suited perhaps.

Welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand.Here's how to install all the ... mods you ever really could want to Infinity Engine games. I removed the stable word from there as Roxanne began to add BS mods that are likely to break compatibility from the BWS.

Even with the staff equipped, B!Valer is a quite weak opponent for that (BG1 around chapter3) part of the game and her role in Gavin's quest. Rather than to make her even weaker, it may be an idea to make that staff undroppable and not stealable. This way she can use it in combat but the party cannot pick it from her body, dead or alive. The other items she drops is reward enough for the quest (+ you get a bonus from the temple on top for doing the job).

PS - this is Valeria, not to be confused with the mage Valerie, the joinable NPC from her own mod.
